The CMPA has partnered with legendary producer Don Carmody to launch the CMPA Don Carmody International Co-Production Mentorship Program!

Supported by a generous $100,000 commitment from Don Carmody, this initiative honours his incredible five-decade legacy of bridging Hollywood and Canada to bring over $2B USD in production north of the border. We’re thrilled to partner with Don Carmody as he invests in the next generation of Canadian producers!

Because global partnerships are more important than ever to getting projects financed and seen around the world, this program will help fund one producer annually for a 20-week paid international co-production placement, giving emerging talent the hands-on experience they need to thrive in the global marketplace. 🌍

Applications are now open for CMPA member companies to apply with an emerging producer. The deadline to apply is July 10, 2026. Learn more about our mentorship programs and eligibility at cmpa.ca/mentorship

In the Northwest Territories, summer filming comes with a kind of light you have to see to believe.

Located far north on the Earth’s parallel, the NWT experiences the midnight sun up to 24 hours of daylight in summer. Giving productions extended shooting windows, consistent natural light, and cinematic golden hour that lasts all night.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aux Territoires du Nord-Ouest, les tournages estivaux se déroulent sous une lumière si irréelle qu’elle défie l’objectif.

Situés au nord du 60e parallèle, les Territoires du Nord-Ouest bénéficient du soleil de minuit jusqu’à 24 heures de lumière du jour en été , offrant ainsi aux productions des créneaux de tournage prolongés, une lumière naturelle constante et une « heure dorée » cinématographique qui dure toute la nuit.

Going to the movies isn't about watching a story, it's about feeling something together 🍿.

From laughter in a packed theatre, to quiet moments that stay with you long after the credits roll. This is what movies mean to us.

What does going to the movies mean to you? 🎬
———————————————————————-

Aller au cinéma ne se résume pas à regarder une histoire, c’est vivre une émotion collective 🍿.

Des éclats de rire dans une salle comble aux moments de recueillement qui nous marquent longtemps après le défilement du générique, voilà ce que le cinéma représente pour nous.

Qu’est-ce que les sorties au cinéma signifient pour vous? 🎬
